A Magnetic‐Driven Self‐Rotation‐Stabilized Miniature Swimming Robot

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the stable rotational descent of seeds in nature, this study designs a magnetic‐driven self‐rotation‐stabilized miniature swimming robot (MSMSR). Based on a resonance‐driven strategy, the robot exhibits high swimming performance, offering enhanced directional swimming and improved resistance to water flow disturbances compared to existing ...

Simple horizontal magnetic tweezers for micromanipulation of single DNA molecules and DNA—protein complexes

BioTechniques, 2016
We report the development of a simple-to-implement magnetic force transducer that can apply a wide range of piconewton (pN) scale forces on single DNA molecules and DNA—protein complexes in the horizontal plane.

A programmable optical angle clamp for rotary molecular motors [PDF]

, 2007
Optical tweezers are widely used for experimental investigation of linear molecular motors. The rates and force dependence of steps in the mechanochemical cycle of linear motors have been probed giving detailed insight into motor mechanisms. With similar

Passive Metasurface Tweezers for Multi‐Scale Orbital Transport and Trapping on Elastic Plates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Passive labyrinthine phase encoding converts single‐channel excitation into localized flexural‐wave vortices with programmable orbital angular momentum. The resulting vortex fields enable cross‐scale particle manipulation, including orbital transport, central confinement, and rotational actuation.

Mechanical activation of vinculin binding to talin locks talin in an unfolded conformation [PDF]

, 2014
The force-dependent interaction between talin and vinculin plays a crucial role in the initiation and growth of focal adhesions. Here we use magnetic tweezers to characterise the mechano-sensitive compact N-terminal region of the talin rod, and show that

Coarsening‐Resistant Ag Sinter Composites: Mechanistic Insights From Different Ag–Additive Systems

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
An Ag–WC sintered composite exhibiting superior resistance to thermal coarsening. Different particle‐reinforced Ag sinter composites showed markedly different microstructural responses to thermal aging. The comparison revealed that robust Ag–additive interfaces maintain grain‐boundary pinning, whereas insufficient interfacial stability results in the ...

Water, Alcohols, Amines, and Amides as Formal Hydrogen‐Atom‐Transfer Reagents Through Activation With Redox‐Active Lewis Acids

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Protic molecules containing strong O─H or N─H bonds typically resist hydrogen‐atom abstraction because of the high reactivity of the resulting heteroatom‐centered radicals. However, association of the protic molecules with redox‐active Lewis acids can provide powerful hydrogen‐atom donors or proton‐coupled‐electron‐transfer reagents.

Homology sensing via non-linear amplification of sequence-dependent pausing by RecQ helicase

eLife, 2019
RecQ helicases promote genomic stability through their unique ability to suppress illegitimate recombination and resolve recombination intermediates. These DNA structure-specific activities of RecQ helicases are mediated by the helicase-and-RNAseD like C-

Internal Electric Field‐Guided, Low‐Adsorption Ferroelectric Anode Protective Layers for Sustainable Suppression of Polysulfide Side Reactions in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A positively polarized ferroelectric β‐pvdf layer incorporating fluorinated boron nitride nanosheets (PPFBN) establishes a strong internal field that promotes Li+ transport toward the anode while suppressing the migration of polysulfide anions. In addition, its intrinsically low polysulfide affinity helps preserve protective‐layer functionality ...
